Laravel超时问题

Question

I have a long running Laravel process to generate a report. When selecting long date ranges, I was getting a redirect back to the same URL after approximately 100s. I changed the code to this:

set_time_limit(20);
while(1) {
    $var = 3 + 4 / 11;
}

It runs for 20s then redirects to the same URL. I'd like to add that I have 2 routes, a GET route, and a POST route. The timeout happens for the POST route.

I've tried

set_time_limit(0);

but it didn't make a difference. I've turned on debug, but nothing. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I am running PHP 5.4.x so its not safe mode. EDIT: here is the controller - http://laravel.io/bin/WVdVz, Here is the last code that is supposed to execute - http://laravel.io/bin/aa2GW. EDIT: The error handling library, Whoops, catches and logs timeout errors. My logs are clean. This has something to do with how Laravel is treating responses after my _download function...

Answer 1

After a lot of debugging, I figured it out. Apache was timing out. Apparently, when Apache times out, it throws a 500 response code. Apparently (again), when a browser gets a 500 error code to a POST request, it resends it as a GET request. I wrote it up here in more detail: http://blog.voltampmedia.com/2014/09/02/php-apache-timeouts-post-requests/

To be clear, its not a Laravel issue. Do note that the Whoops library does capture the timeout error.
